Recommendation for How to Increase Clearance of Yakima Subaru Buttondown on 2008 Mercury Mariner
Question:
Will these work with a mighty mount 10V accessory?

Expert Reply:
For the regular Yakima ButtonDown you would need to use MightyMounts # Y03590 to attach the carrier to the factory crossbars if they are not larger than 4 inches wide and 1-1/2 inches tall.
If you have the ButtonDown Aero then you can use # Y8860040. This item is a single unit so you would need 4 of them total. This foot will fit crossbars up to 3-7/8 inches wide or 1-1/4 inches tall.
I do have a good solution for raising this rack further away from the vehicle to allow you to fit those bigger skis. The Yakima adapter # 8830017, will fit the ButtonDown models 8003034 and 8003036. If your PowderHound or ButtonDown carrier was manufactured after 2006, you will need # Y8860037 to replace the ski lift kit.
